Emissions reduction project development
All global modeled pathways that limit warming to 2°C, involve rapid and deep and, in most cases, immediate greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors between now and 2030.
At SustainScale, we help you deliver these projects with customized support in initiating, planning, implementing, and managing your emissions reduction projects.
What is a GHG emissions reduction project?
A GHG emissions reduction project is a temporary endeavor whose main expected benefit is to reduce GHG emissions by :
- preventing an emission
- reducing an existing emission or;
- offsetting emitted greenhouse gases.
Why should you trust Sustainscale for your emissions reduction projects?
The international norm to quantify emission reduction at the project level.
From project initiation to delivery, we support you to the full extent of your needs.
Get your teams involved throughout the project with our workshops that are designed to keep everyone engaged and motivated.
The service deliverables
Our expert guidance and cutting-edge resources will help you achieve your sustainability goals and make a real impact. Partner with us today and start making a difference that truly counts. Here is what you’ll get :
The document that defines how the reduction project will be executed, monitored, and controlled to achieve effective emissions reduction, on budget and on time.
A detailed quantification of the project’s GHG impacts.
An estimate of the costs required to complete the project, including funding sources.
Identification of risks that could affect the success of the project, definition of response plans, and assignment of responsibility for monitoring their evolution.
Key project activities and milestones.
On-demand and monthly reports depending on your project support needs.
An idea to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?
We’d love to hear about it and discuss how we can start making it happen. Let’s meet up and get things rolling!
Undertaking an emissions reduction project can raise many questions.
With SustainScale, base your climate actions on rigorous project planning and execution.
To accurately measure the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are reduced as a result of the project, we apply the principles of consequential Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This involves quantifying both the reference scenario and the scenario where the project is implemented.
By comparing the emissions levels in these two scenarios, we can calculate the exact amount of emissions that are prevented by the project. This calculation will be continuously evaluated and verified throughout the project’s lifespan to ensure that the emissions reduction is accurately measured and monitored.
To ensure that the project will effectively contribute towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, it is imperative to comprehensively assess and quantify all the potential impacts of the project. This includes not just the direct consequences of the project, but also the indirect effects that may result from it.
By thoroughly analyzing all the potential impacts of the project, we can ensure that we are taking the most effective steps toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Accurately estimating the costs associated with an emissions reduction project is an essential step toward making a well-informed decision. Our team is equipped to provide a detailed and comprehensive estimation of project costs, from the initial investment cost to the operational costs once the project is delivered.
Some projects may be eligible for credits or subsidies. In such a case, we will assist you in finding the most suitable option available. The typical payback period for emissions reduction projects is around 2 to 3 years.
We will search through over 140 grants, fundings, and tax credits to determine which ones your company could benefit from to establish an emissions reduction project.
Our carbon and financial models of projects include a sensitivity analysis to detect borderline cases and external factors that could impact the project’s success.
In addition to the economic benefits and expected emissions reductions, we will work with you to identify the co-benefits of each action to maximize their adoption.
The lifecycle of a GHG emissions reduction project
Our project managers are with you from the early stages of your reduction projects, making implementation as simple as possible.
We gather all the information needed to draw up a project charter that will guide us throughout the project.
We plan project costs, schedule, stakeholders’ involvement, and GHG emissions reduction potential.
We support you in carrying out project activities, with regular project monitoring and rigorous control of GHG emissions.
We continue to support you at the end of the project to monitor benefits and share lessons learned.
